Finally bit the gun and registered for Run for the kids. Despite not wanting to take part in the wussy 5.2KM run, I have came to realise and accept it that I won't be able to train my body to take that much pain to run 14.6KM in less than 2 months. Wussy 5.2KM run it'll be for me. AND I'll still have to train for it -.- Although I'm aiming to do it in a good time as my comfort point in doing the lesser of the 2.

Been watching too much tennis these days. Can't believe it took me so long to get into tennis. All the players are so tall, wonder why they aren't playing basketball instead.

Took up scrapbooking :) and i've been shopping nonstop for my new found hobby. Would rather sit at home on a Friday scrapping than going out to mingle.

Hello 2010! Back to work and back to reality. Had a blast counting down to the new year with an overdose of Buzz! Updates soon :)

 

Can't believe how fast the year has past by. At the end of the day, the new year is just another brand new day. 2009 has been an odd year, good and bad, it's been a learning curve.

Counted down to 2009 in the suburbs with the TV in the background. Hopes of catching a glimpse of the fireworks from the windows were crushed when I realised we weren't facing the city direction. 

Went back to Malaysia for a visit after being away for nearly a year. Selectively chose my flight dates to avoid the CNY rush and crowd. Caught with old friends and family. Once again reminded of how blessed I am. Ate too much, gained a few kilos, but all in the holiday spirit.

The year 2009 also saw me turn 23 rather grudgingly. Kinda just want to live in the phase of life where I can still be irresponsible and carefree. But we all know that's not going to happen. Celebrated my birthday with close friends, and although some plans didn't go as plan, still was a good one nonetheless.

Cannot believe that the year is nearly coming to an end. Family just arrived yesterday and I'm already lacking sleep :) Not complaining about it though!

I can feel the Christmas rush all over again. Carols in the stores, longer opening hours, packed car parks, fairy lights outside houses and kids walking around with reindeer headbands. Got to say, Christmas is definetely my favourite seaon of the year.

Finally put up my Christmas tree and it is complete. Somehow, you never feel the festivity till you have a tree to remind you of it.

Some random photos from Colin's 60th birthday at the Long Room @ MCG. Apparently I have no idea how lucky I am to be able to set foot in that room. Got to finally wear one of my long dresses that I have been waiting for an occassion to wear them to. One more dress to go!

Birthday boy in the middle!

 

 

I was reading my journals over the past week and had came to realise that whenever I'm doing something that I know is out of God's will, everything will seem all good for that moment but come crashing down later on. I'll then think that I have learn my lesson and repeat the same mistakes again. Selfish desires are always my temporal fix to my longing for something more. Ugh, how annoying.

I am going to write it out in words today that I am going to align myself to His will and when the time is right, I will reap the rewards and the promises will be all the more sweeter. Going through the pain is just so not worth it.

On a side note, I think I might have contracted the swine flu (every flu I get is assumed to be swine flu by me so this is no big deal). It's like a lingering sickness that won't go away. Got this cough that makes me throw up and a throat that making my voice disappear bit by bit. Help me! And I don't have Medicare so I'm contemplating if I should visit the doctors to get myself some antibiotics.

Just celebrated Merdeka the other day. Was having a conversation with some colleagues of mine who pointed out that with the non-malays being oppressed isn't really independence at all.

I also think I'm coming down with the flu bug. My body is aching and I'm constantly getting goosebumps. Be aware whoever it is that actually gave t to me. I hate being sick.

Arrived on Monday and I'm feeling the routine all over again. It's going to be another 4 more months before I see my family again. Not that long to wait till our road trip to Sydney :)

Time passes by so quickly! And once again I'm doing the whole last minute packing and shopping thing all over. Have not packed neither have I bought everything that I want/need to buy. That said, I should save the money and shop in Malaysia though.

Can't wait to go back to a warm weather actually, no more bundling up in sweaters and walking around in bedroom slippers.

I have gave in and signed up for a twitter account - jocelyn_teh if you want to know what I'm doing. I'm going to see how addicted I will be to knowing what everyone else is doing.

Edit:

Ok it is addictive - always wanting to update what I'm doing all the time hehe

Wow it was so amazing. I can't even put into words what I got out of it. There's just so much going through my head right now, I don't want to forget what I have experienced in those 3 days.

Ps Lisa shared this on the first night which I thought was very empowering.

Daughter
A daughter is her father’s joy and her mother’s treasure because she quickens the heart. An heiress, she was hoped for and is their hope for the future. As the potential carrier and bearer of life, she is human wealth. Her creation was God’s altogether lovely crown of creation, the one who completes. Daughters are the feminine form, which embodies love, beauty, hope, and tenderness. A daughter is smiles, hugs, and laughter. She is a seeker of truth who asks many questions, longing to know who she is. She is a friend and comfort in your latter years. A daughter is like a priceless pearl.
